With which driving license can I drive which rental vehicle?
What is there to consider when renting a trailer or a rental vehicle?
Before renting a trailer or a rental vehicle from Mietpartner It is first important to check whether you have the appropriate driving license. In addition, all rental combinations must be checked to see whether the towing vehicle is suitable for the combination.
The necessary data is provided by the driver's driver's license and the vehicle registration documents for the vehicles and trailers in question.
For the towing vehicle, it is initially the information in Q1. The value indicates the technically maximum permissible braked trailer load in kilograms ( kg ). The value in F1 indicates the permissible total mass (GVW).
The following points must be observed:
Combination consisting of towing vehicle and trailer
- The permissible total weight in the vehicle documents is decisive here
This includes the total weight of the towing vehicle (F1) and the trailer (F1) that is being moved - The payload or the actual weight are not relevant
- If you drive without the right driving license class, you are liable to prosecution and we as the landlord are involved.
As such, we are not permitted to permit any ride without the appropriate allowable driver's license class.
Likewise, we must not allow any combinations that are not suitable as a team.
With which driving license can you move how much and what?
Driving license class B
- up to 3500 kg permissible total mass (GVM)
- with trailer (maximum GVW of trailer 750 kg )
- also with a heavier trailer if the permissible total weight of 3500 kg does not exceed
Addition B96
Combination of class B vehicle and trailer with GVW over 750 kg ,
where the GVW of the vehicle combination exceeds 3500 kg and no more than
4250 kg amounts.
Addition BE

Total weight of the trailer 3500 kg does not exceed the gross vehicle weight.

C1E

The total mass of the trailer must not be greater than the unladen mass of the towing vehicle and the sum of the two permissible total masses must not be greater than 12 t .
